So, um, tonight I was watching *cough*Trista and Ryan's Wedding*cough* and naturally my thoughts drifted towards marriage.

I remembered how Niki told me the story of her grandparents, and the incredible love between them. I thought about the stories mum has told me about patients in the hospital and the spouses who watch over them day and night, visiting hours be damned. That's what I want out of marriage. Of course, that's what everybody wants,but most people are so afraid of being alone that they're willing to settle for less. Yeah, I really don't fear being alone so I refuse to settle.

Because I also thought about my grandparents, and how they were always bickering. I mean, I'm fairly positive they loved each other, but they didn't show it at all. I don't know, maybe that's just the way things are with couples that old. Another couple I know around their age does the same thing. I don't ever want that. I want love to be there the entire time we're together, and I want it to be obvious to everyone that sees us. I want the vows to mean something. I don't want it to be "til death do us part with of course divorce always being an option."
